THE STRAITS ·INSURANCE- COM-
PANY, LIMITED.
The Twelfth Ordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of the above company was held in the company's office, D'Almeida Street, Singa pore, on April 1st, for the purpose of receiving the Directors' report and declaring a dividend. Mr. Then. Sohet occupied the chair, and there were also present Messrs. Kerr, Hooper, Thomson, Purvis, Moses, KcKerrow, M. Behr, Geptle, Lyall, E. J. Nanson, Marray, Hilty, Rauch, Loh Lum and Low Kim Pong.
The Chairman said:-The accounts of the past year, which have been the prescribed time is your possession, will I suppose be considered satisfactory, They show that the total net premia earned during the year under review are about $12,000 less than the premia earned the previous twelve months when higher rates existed. The result of the Company's work may I think he called good, the paid losses are $90,000 less than those paid in the preceding for year. The company has now been working five years, during two of which it has experienced a state of things such as has seldom fallen to the lot of other companies engaged in insurance business in their earlier days. Not only have rates declined and competition of the keenest nature been encountered, but the company has been ai- lacked in public papers at home, and distorted statements have been freely made as to its stabi lity. These attacks have not been confined to our Company only, but nearly all the Eastem offices have had to undergo to same ordeal, but as they are older and stronger, and their financial position is better understood, these strictures have fallen upon them with less force than upon a younger company like ourselves. In reviewing the past five years, I would call your attention to the fact that we have grossed a total revenge in that time of over 23 million dollars, of which about $2,300,000 has been net premium alone; this represents no small earning power. Up to this our Company has been able to pay to its shareholders not less than to per cent. interest every year on the paid up capital, besides dividing other profils; this shows that even in excep- tionally hard times, we are holding our own, as compared with other companies; this makes me confident that also in the future we shall be able to pay satisfactory relums to the shareholders. The subject of a reduction in the Head Office charges has been occupying the attention of the Board for some months, but sudden changes cannot be made in a double Company like ours, as everything that passes in the two Companies centres in the Head Office. It is not a question, of the extra expenditure of $2,0-0 per annum, which 1888 shows over 1887; it is whether the business warrants the money expended upon it as the business grows and extends, and it is extending. If you will bear in mind that the reduction in rates is by no means made up of the difference of about $12,000 net premium between this year and last, it is easily conceivable that the cost of providing the Lextension cannot be of a retrograde character. Taking the gross premium receipt of the two Companies, Marine and Fire, in 1888, the figures exceeded $700,000, and the necessity of careful supervision of business, local and foreign, cannot be delegated to inexperienced hands. I trust that it will not be many years before the double Company grosses a million of dollars per annum. There is nothing, particular to notice in the accounts; the London agency expenses will be much less in 1989, than in 1888, as under our arrangement with the late Agents, commission on the receipts was allowed to the end of the year. You will notice that our deposits have been increased by $46,000 in the year, and that our available funds at call, including these Bink deposits, are of the satisfactory proportion of nearly half of the, whole assets of the Company, or say some $4.0.000. Our mortages have been re-valued by Mr. Crane during the past six months, and are pronounced thoroughly sound. With these remarks) beg to propose that the Report and Accounts be passed, should no shareholder have any particular question to ask.
The Report and accounts were duly passed. The retiring officers were all re-elected, which concluded the business of the meeting.Straits,

the benefit of the human family. The single important exception to this statement is the Ixperiment of M. Dumontpallier, who, by means of a current of air directed upon a patient, has caused the contractions which follow an attack of hysteria to disappear. In some cases there was great medication of mental condition, and the attacks were warded off for days, and in some instances for weeks. Mesmer claimed that the hypnotic condition was induced by a power which be termed “animal magnetism,” whereby he was able to overcome the nervous energy of 1 person and bring him entirely under his con- trol. But it has been shown that this idea is fallacious, and that any one can bring on the hypnotic state provided the subject is a person whose constitutional structure is such as renders it subject to the peculiar influence.
Hypnotism was recently brought into promin. ence in a practical and useful light in this city by the experiments of Dr. Carlisle upon a human being, and undoubtedly other experts following in the same line will harness this subtle force and bring it under complete subjection to the human will, when it can be utilized to relieve the sufferings of humanity in many ways. Such a conclusion was suggested long ago by Prof. Hammond, bet the practice of the art having been taken up by the racdiums, clairvoyants and other quacks for the purpose of fleecing gullible people, it has not been given the attention that properly belongs to it by scientists.

Michael Malone, an humble gardene: kving in Flushing, L., is mainly responsible for the. resurrection of hypnotism, and establishing it on a basis where it will compel the best medical thought to be expended upon it to develop its usefulness. He did not stumble upon it as a navigator does upon a new country, or an inven- or upon a new idea; but it came entirely from his misfortune and suffering, and the boldness, courage and expertness of Dr. Carlisle. Malone is a young man, and has the reputation of being an expert amateur performer of sleight-of-hand and other tricks. "Sword-swallowing was his favorite pastime. In order to add to the danger and interest of this trick, he substituted a fork for the sword, and carried it with him for use when suddenly called upon to display his expertness. Malone has a fondness for the cup that inebriates as well as cheers, and while under influence of stimulant, in a country bar-room, gave an exhibition of fork-swallowing. There was not any humbug about it this time. It was

After a short but tempestuous journey To save his soul in his despite. the fork wassafely anchored in Malone's stomach. Fold the fatherall his schemes, Malone consulted a physician and was told that Who were his comrades, what their dreams ; there was a chance that the fork would become "And now make haste.", 1 said, “to pray encysted in the stomach and give him no trouble, The one spot from his soul away; · and he determined to await developments.

Dr. Carlisle had often assisted Prof, Hammond in his public exhibitions and knew what this incident meant. The patient was hypnotized, and it suggested to the astute surgeon the possi- bility of operating on Malone while in this state, The very boldness of the idea was encouraging to one of Dr. Carlisle's disposition, and he deter mined to try it. The patient seemed well and strong, and he was subjected to several tests. He macked his lips over a piece of alum when told that it was sugar. He was told that a vase was young woman, and be kissed it with more force than elegance. It was suggested that a knife was a candle, and bis arm was cut without his show ing any sign of pais.
